The Annotated Retainer Agreement
Program originally held on April 29, 2009
Chair(s):
Dawn M. Melville
Barrister and Solicitor
According to LawPRO, lawyer/client communication errors have been the biggest source of claims in the last 11 years. Retainer agreements define the relationship between you and your client. This critical document must be clear, concise and contain key provisions to protect you from disputes with your clients. Do you have a standard precedent retainer agreement? Does it need to be updated? These valuable materials will assist you in outlining the scope of your representation, document fees and disbursements. Sample retainer agreements and precedents are provided and a CD-ROM** containing an unannotated version of the documents are included in the publication.
**CD-ROM is included with hardcopy purchase only. A digital download will be provided when purchasing PDF materials.
